Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law directs the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to develop a
proposal for a multiple-vendor student information system (SIS). DPI must submit
the proposal to the Joint Committee on Finance (JCF) for its approval. If JCF
approves the proposal, DPI must implement it and must ensure that information
about pupils enrolled in charter schools and about pupils enrolled in private schools
participating in a parental choice program (PCP) is collected and maintained in the
SIS. Current law also provides that if the SIS is established, DPI must ensure that
within five years, every school district and every charter school is using the SIS, and
that every private school participating in a PCP is either using the SIS or is using
a system that is interoperable with the SIS. Current law authorizes DPI to
promulgate rules establishing a fee for use of the SIS.
This substitute amendment provides that if the SIS is established, DPI must
ensure that within five years, every school district and every charter school, other
than an independent charter school, is using the system. The substitute amendment

also provides that, beginning in the 2015-16 school year, DPI must ensure that every
independent charter school and every private school participating in a PCP is either
using the SIS or is using a system that is commercially available, capable of
providing the information required, and able to obtain pupil identification numbers.
If the SIS is established, the substitute amendment allows DPI to promulgate rules
establishing a fee for using the SIS.
Finally, the substitute amendment specifies that a private school participating
in a PCP is not required to include in the SIS it is using information about pupils who
are not attending the private school under the PCP.
